the target is the distributed hash table routing metric used for decentralized C&C. kademlia, chord, and DHT's in general are fragile; they trade efficiency for resilience against a coordinated attacker, presuming the redundancy adequate for random (read: not intentional) failure is sufficient. if you want to take down storm, take down the C&C. it will cost you $100/mo for a dedicated server with modest bandwidth. implemented the attack is left as an exercise for the reader... :P _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
